<div><br></div><div>I should introduce myself. I walked into an early Sudoroom meeting by curiosity and accident and have lurked since then. It is so cool to see how much has happened since then! I am a researcher with training in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science, and am currently applying those tools to Crowdsourcing. I work at Google in San Francisco, and live in downtown Oakland. </div>
